Depending upon how it is designed it *may* have a higher gain than a

So all those large external aerials are simply unnecessary? ;-)

They certainly may be in some locations. In any case, I don't recall
the exact wording of the advert, but if you have a roof-mounted yagi
in a high signal strength area, you could be over-driving your TV
tuner. Fitting a *lower* gain aerial could in that case improve your
reception.

If they've invented something that works better than conventional
techniques, then the mobile phone chappies would bite their hands off for
it.

Perhaps you haven't noticed, but the aerials on mobile phones have
been getting smaller and smaller until these days they are usually
completely hidden inside the phone. So no way would the mobile phone
people be interested in an aerial as large as the one advertised.
